Cystitis (inflammation of the bladder) affects about half the women in the UK – whether occasionally, repeatedly or constantly. Approximately 2.5 million women in the UK suffer from cystitis each year and virtually every woman will experience a urinary tract infection at least once in their lifetime. This cystitis test will help to identify the presence of certain constituents not normally present in your urine (except a few days before a period) indicating that a bacterial infection may be present.
